Ask & Answer: India's Largest Education Community

Yes, the University Grants Commission (UGC) has approved the course of B.Tech in the field of Data Science (DS), which is conducted at Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU). The SPPU, in itself, is a UGC-recognized and NAAC-accredited public university and all the programs that affiliate under SPPU are run as such.

This central approval is assumed by any Degree programme (B.Tech or equivalent) run at or under the aegis of SPPU, including Data Science. Along with this certain colleges directly related to SPPU that provide B.Tech in DS also tend to emphasize on their recognition by UGC and where apt even by AICTE which is necessary in case of technical education. In that way, you can rest assured that B.Tech in Data Science offered by SPPU is UGC approved.

In the process of choosing the better course to undertake in Information Technology (IT), former education, occupation goals, and interests need to be placed into consideration especially at the K.J. Somaiya Institute of Engineering and Information Technology. A breakdown that can help you up is as follows:

The Best Information Technology Courses
1. B.Tech/B.E. in Information Technology
Free trial 4 years (8Semesters)

Specialization: Software creation, networking, handling databases, cyber-security, cloud computing and so on.

Career Opportunities: Software engineer/IT consultant and network administrator/database manager/cybersecurity analyst and web developer.

Placement Prospects: Excellent in terms of the institutes such as K.J. Somaiya and the companies (Amazon, Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, etc.) that recruit them.

fields of Specialization/Majors: Cybersecurity, Artificial Intelligence, Computer Applications, Data Science, High-Performance Computing.

2. B.Tech/B.E. in Computer Science and Engineering
Duration: 4 years

Focus: More academic and fundamental, the subjects are nontrivial algorithms, program, data structure, computer architectures.

Good for: Individuals who are interested in fields in software engineering, research and developing new technological applications. It also has very high placement rates and flexibility of futuristic careers in the field of technology.

The difference between IT and Computer Science is that the former is more theoretical and general whereas the latter is pragmatic and business solution-oriented.

3. Paper on Information Technology
Period of duration: 3 years after 10 th or 2 years after 12 th

Focus: Basic IT competencies, that can be used to rapidly get into IT support, network administration, or web development.

Good for: Students who need practical skills in the shortest time possible.

4. Bachelor Computer Applications (BCA)
Very much like B.Tech IT with fewer engineering maths. A professional in software coding, programming.

School to be in: electrical engineering.
